Nicolas Kuhn MUST be exceptional Celtic signing or Brendan Rodgers 'stockpiling' risks repeating unwanted history

Brendan Rodgers has been warned he's at risk of having 'a million wingers' again - if he adds Nicolas Kuhn to a stacked Celtic pack.

The Hoops are believed to be in advanced talks to sign the Rapid Vienna wide man who comes highly-rated, having spent time at Bayern Munich as a younger player. If the 23-year-old does arrive, he'll become the EIGHTH senior wide player on the books, and pundit Mark Wilson is surprised to see Rodgers prioritising that position. Speaking on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, Wilson harked back to Rodgers' famous quip about having 'a million wingers' on his books when they signed Maryan Shved during his first season.

Wilson said: "It's not a position I thought was a priority. You always go back to Brendan Rodgers' first time when he said they had 'a million wingers.' When I count the wingers just now, Abada, Yang, Maeda, Palma, Mikey Johnston, James Forrest...ok, some of them might be on the way out, but I didn't think it would be Rodgers' first signing (this January).

"Six wingers. And all of them have played a part this season. I would suggest Abada will go right back to the top of the pecking order when he's back, Maeda off the other side, and Palma then filling in either of those positions. Yang seems to be in Rodgers' plans. Johnston, Forrest...I'm not sure how much more game time they will get at Celtic.

"If you had to add Kuhn to it, you're kind of stockpiling wingers. It's a different story if he comes in and bowls everybody over and becomes an automatic starter. But in years gone by, we've seen players come in and be on the periphery.

"I thought he would have gone for a striker first. I didn't think he'd go for a winger."

Fellow pundit Gordon Dalziel offered the counter-point, though - arguing
